Wonkey eye syndrome!

[The Great Wallsendo]

Ever stared at your rod tip so hard you ended up convincing yourself you've seen a bite LOL

All the time mate glad it's not just me lol

I get the old optical illusion bites stareing at the tip light

 

[LeeP2011]

Happen's to me all the time, Keep's me from getting bored haha

 

[Motorhead]

Or when you've been starring at your tip light all night and when you finally get in bed and close your eyes it's all you can see? unless that's just me

or when you look away and swear you see a bounce out the corner of your eye then stare at it hard for the next 5 minutes waiting for it to come back (which it never does because there was nout in the first place)

class. I stare at it for ages and start getting the wobbly tip, so I look away to re-focus and thats when the f8cka 'bounces' so you start staring at it again,, its a vicious circle.

if you stare at your rod tip for a minute or to ,then move our head from side to side quickly it looks like a cod bite, the quicker you move the bigger the bite ..I know I have done it
